i dont...can we have some more details.. what apps do you have installed that may be messing with it.

Try this: Go to settings, wifi, advanced, and where it says, "keep wifi on during sleep", check always.

Happens to me too on Stock Velocity ICS Rom + root. Not sure why but I usually have to restart to fix it.
"keep wifi on during sleep" was already on as default too.

I had this exact problem when upgrading to ICS. It's not the phone, it's your router. In order to fix it you need to change from either mixmode or AES to TKIP. I spent hours fiddling with my phone and router before I figured it out.
Just remember to change any PC's you have to tkip as well. Windows 7 defaults to AES.

I also had a similar issue. I "forgot" my home router, rebooted and connected again and since had not had any issues.

[Q] Losing 3G after I disconnect IncS from PC

Hi,
Why do I lose my 3G connection after I disconnect my HTC IS from my laptop ? It always happens when I choose internet pass through option and the only solution for this is to restart my phone. Anyone experiencing the same bug that i suffer from ?
Any workaround rather than restarting my phone ?
Try switching mobile Internet on and off?

thats very odd .. hasn't happened to me ... do you have any network control apps like juice defender? try uninstalling ... also try switching off mobile network ... using passthrough ... then switching on ... might be a problem with the network management ... does the same happen with switching between wifi and 3g?

Data/Wifi problem

Hey there,
I've got both data and wifi running great on my AHD but simply not together. As in, whenever I've used wifi before and then try to switch data on I get no connection be it 2g or 4g. I have to go to airplane mode first then the connection is back on.
I tried messing with the APN settings but that didn't change anything. So, any ideas? Or at least someone going through the same issue?
Btw I'm on stock but rooted ICS 4.0.4 thought of trying the JB leak if this goes on as its really annoying.

Wifi connecting... saved... obtaining ip address... saved

I'm wondering if anyone running either cm 10 or Pac roms is having issues after a few weeks, of wifi attempting to connect then saying saved and doing that over and over again and not connecting. I know other people not necessarily using this phone have had this issue before but, I can't seem to find any solutions to the problem. I am currently running Pac all in one Rom and it was working great until today but, I have had these issues on cm 10 before and the only thing that seems to fix is to flash a new Rom and I like this one and don't want to re-flash.

Mine was doing that but a dirty flash fixed it and I still have all my settings.

I always get this issue on custom ROMs
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
I've been having this issue as well, again and again.. I've had about a 50/50 success rate with dirty flashing. Anyway, I believe the problem has something to do with the dhcp assigned ip addresses from the router. It's something on the phone side of it because changing dhcp settings,lease times etc., on the router have no effect. When you lose WiFi and it goes into that loop and won't connect, go into WiFi settings, and forget your network. Then select your network again and enable the advanced settings. Change from dhcp to static and then assign yourself a local IP. I have a Linksys router so I entered 192.168.1.8 . so I believe a netgear router would be 192.168.2.?? , the ?? or 8 being whatever is unused on your network. If you haven't already, enter your password and connect. I connected immediately after that. I understand this isn't really a "fix" because won't help you when trying to connect to networks that you can't assign your own IP, like say Starbucks or somewhere.. But hopefully this may point someone who knows more about this stuff in the right direction to actually fix whatever is off in the phone. Drivers maybe? Hope this helps!

Thank you for the explanation I tried a dirty flash and that solves it for about 12 hours. I am getting faster at flashing and restoring everything and am now flashing a new Rom every couple of days so it's not that big of a deal I'll just take it as a sign I should try a new Rom I'm now running the unofficial aokp Rom and I'm liking it next time it happens I'll just try another. Thanks for all the help glad to know the issue isn't because I've done something wrong.

Is there anyway to fix this issue yet?
@TTLayland said exactly what I'd say...static IP. I'll add the the Devs are working on updated WiFi drivers for the kernel. When that's ready hopefully that'll work for ya'll. I haven't had any WiFi issues for the past few weeks. Connected to my House, McD's, and the hospital.
Post the actual make & model of your router and I/we'll see what can be found for it.
Also, try setting the phone to 2.4 Ghz only...my old router was 2.4ghz and the auto setting would randomly kick me. New router broadcasts in both 5ghz and 2.4ghz, I connect to the 5ghz one and use auto without issue.

Kinda like the flashing back to ICS to get a GPS lock to work on custom jb ROM's

Ok, I didn't realize Devs were working on it. I have statics set for my home, but being a Network Admin I travel to many different networks and because of the way our network transverses settinig an ip is not an option as the same SSID is used for about 95 different sites. So DHCP is a must.
I just thought it was strange that the Carbon rom I am using was working for about 2 weeks correctly then stopped connecting, sometimes a reboot will get it to connect.
Thanks.
I wish it would work I just gave up on wifi on ahd if using custom rom

WiFi Disconnects & Reconnects after 4.3 update

One phone is on Flex's 4.3 Stock with Goodies. The other is my wife's stock phone with the latest 4.3 update.
After the update, both phones are reconnecting and disconnecting on home WiFi router constantly (every minute) This did not happen before the update. Wireless laptop still connects fine to the router.
Are there phone settings to tinker with regarding this issue? OR do yall think it's a modem issue. It should also be noted that my phone connects just fine to my work's WiFi.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Update/ Bump
Things I have done to my router thus far, and am still experience constant disconnect / reconnect
Set the router to B only
Set the router to G only
Set the router to N only
Changed the channel of the router
removed WEP/WPA Password
Upgraded firmware in this router
reset router
kicked router
Both phones are still having this issue. Do you any of you folks think it could be some conflict in handing out IP Addresses by the router?
ten etessar
I am having the exact same issue. It was happening on the stock ROM after the 4.3 update. Yesterday I rooted and flashed Stock w Goodies, the problem is still there.
Yup happening to me also but I thought it was just my phone not playing nice with the router. Problem persists even on the 5.5 roms

I was having the same problem..so I turneded off roaming and it still happened somewhat...then I reflashed the separate radio and it's much better

What radio specifically did you flash?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
This has happened to me as well. Changing the radio to the newest one helps a little as does changing to Roam Only or No Roaming. Also, placing the phone onto airplane mode and then connecting to wifi alleviates the problem. Unfortunately the most reliable fix I could find was flashing back to 4.1.2.
My theory is that something about how 4.3 handles connectivity in relation to cell service borks connectivity with all other radios on the phone because when I used my Moga with 4.3 it would constantly disconnect when the radio switched between Sprint and Roaming. But I'm not a developer nor do I understand much except for the basics.
Same issue. Only with certain apps though, like Facebook. Pretty sure it's not me because I'm stock unrooted and all my other devices work fine.
Yep, same here I am also experiencing an issue on Badseed's rom where I get a constant popup every 3 minutes or so asking if I want to allow data access for this trip or for all trips. No matter what I select it keeps coming back, even in settings where I select to allow all types of roaming I am still having this issue.... Any ideas?
I already had the latest 4.3 firmware update (soff) and then a couple weeks later I flashed the latest radio found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406330
I also disabled roaming plus I changed the lte/cdma option under data settings to Automatic
So far so good

Try to remove the settings.
Go to WiFi. tap the wifi your trying to connect to, select Forget.
Then try to re-enter the password.
If that fails try to restart router.
If that fails we will need more info.
Nothing is working, my sister has an iPhone and it works but for me it is stuck at authenticating then says disconnected because of poor connection but my router is right next to me.

I had this issue last week and was caused by the app Tasker. Are you using Tasker for any profile involving wifi?
I am using tasker but I don't think for any WiFi applications I will check and get back to you.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Do you by any chance have fast boot enabled?
If so disable that, power cycle the phone. Remove the current WiFI info by selecting Forget (from my original post) and then try it..
You can find the fastboot option under Settings > Power
Were there any changes to the wifi with KitKat?
I'm unable to connect to my home network. I get the "wifi is unavailable" notification and in the list the networks is "out of range" although the signal is excellent.
I've tried everything.
Changing channels, resetting the router, factory reset to my phone, changing various wifi parameters, trying to set a static IP.
I'm frustrated as I cannot connect to my own wifi, whereas I didn't have any problems prior to the update.

might worth a try disabling tasker and rebooting. Tasker seems to have issue with the M7 for some users. Every times I use tasker, I'm having this exact same issue with my wifi.
Fast boot isn't on and my tasker doesn't have any WiFi tasks.I'll try forgetting network again but I've done it a dozen times.
